If you do not have access to the internet, feel free to stop at the school to view this information. from the desk of Mr. Mike Malmberg, District Superintendent District Budget Update Last year in the district newsletter, I updated you on the reductions of around $200,000 to the district budget and what those reductions were. We also anticipate some good news with the final 2015-2016 budget coming in under budget because of a soft freeze on purchases and staff reductions during midyear. With the additional dollars in Tier II levy money that the board approved, the yearly budget reductions of $200,000, the increase of enrollment over the past two years, and setting a conservative 2016-2017 budget, the District audit this past year came in over $500,000 to the positive. That savings has helped the District obtain a 10% unreserved fund balance. As a reminder, our District has set a policy to maintain a 5%-7% unreserved fund balance. Having that fund balance is extremely important for the health of the District and in case of funding issues from the state. I am extremely proud of the District and the Board to take an unreserved fund balance of a possible 3% all the way up to a 10% in less than two years. As I told our staff and the school board this past year, even in times of reductions it is extremely vital to make sure the needs of the district are being served in all areas. This may mean to expand in some areas because of need even though you are decreasing in other areas to reduce the overall budget. I am proud that we have added programming such as M.S. musical, character education at the M.S., speech, elementary technology, additional music staff, staff development dollars for teacher training, and updated curriculum needs just to name a few in a time of shortfall of district funds. My goal is to continue to be transparent in the budget process and to keep you well informed and to also focus on the needs of our students while keeping the budget in a safe and accountable place. With the audit from this year coming in with good news and if the referendum in November passes, this would allow the board some flexibility to look at reducing the dollar amount of the non-voter approved levies. Unfortunately, setting the school budget is very difficult in timing as boards do not know state dollars, enrollment numbers, contract settlements, possible referendum results, staffing needs and more. Standards Based Grading The District is continuing the work of moving to a standards-based report card system. Standards-based report card improves teaching and learning by knowing where the students are in their progress toward meeting standards-based learning objectives and helps with planning classroom instruction. Teachers teach to the needs of each student and assessments give teachers more information about each student’s progress in meeting the level of proficiency required by each standard. In addition, teachers share the standards with students and parents, helping them to better understand the learning that needs to take place. Keep an eye out for further communication on this change for our District and student learning. “Go Huskies” from the desk of Mr. Jason Savage, High School Principal It feels like we just said “welcome back to school” to all of our students and parents. It has been a jam-packed fall, and we are off to a tremendous start to the school year at Pillager High School! Parents, it’s never too soon to start checking on your student’s academic progress. Please make sure you have an active Parent Portal account, which enables you to keep track of grades and attendance (pillager.onlinejmc.com). If your student is struggling in any of their courses, make sure you reach out to that instructor via email or voicemail. Students, now that the excitement of a new school year is behind you make sure to refocus on the goals. Make the decision that you will become a better student than you were the day before. An instructor that had a significant influence on me always said, "There are only two directions: getting better or going backward." I encourage every PHS student to get better, and in doing this, you will make Pillager High School a better place. Again, we are off to a great start this year, and I am excited to have a high school full of exceptional students and staff! We are alive with HUSKY PRIDE! from the desk of Mr. Scott Doss, Middle School Principal We are in the midst of another school year. It is hard to fathom that this is my 17th year here in Pillager, with the last three in the middle school. It seems like every time I write a newsletter I am talking about changes that we are working on. The ability to be reflective in how we deliver this “service” we call education is a challenge of mine. Education as so many see it is changing and we have to be able to stay ahead of the game and deliver the best “product” we can, thus giving our students the best chance for success once they leave Pillager Middle School, and ultimately, the high school. This newsletter is going to again touch on some of the changes we have made here at Pillager and some of the direction we hope to go pending funding and other resources available to us. As a whole, the staff here in the Middle School truly understands that in order to be their best, they, too, have to be willing to change and adapt to the new challenges that face them on a regular basis. One area we are working hard on is trying to maintain a balance with the use of technology. All middle school students have access to a Chromebook throughout the day. The students utilize them quite a bit but we want to make sure we are providing opportunities that don’t always revolve around the use of technology. We believe it is important to teach our students how to work within a team, how to utilize their analytic skills, and most importantly, how to be a problem solver who can communicate with others. We continue to offer a variety of opportunities for our students. Besides the traditional core subjects of math, English, science and social studies, we also have band, choir, PE, health, art, technology, Spanish, STEAM, Metier, character education, and RTI for those students needing additional support in any subject area. One of the biggest challenges we face is trying to get our students as many of the options as possible. We believe having exposure to as many opportunities as possible is best for all students. With us looking for ways to provide these opportunities, I am always looking for innovative ideas to enhance our school day. I have been working with a couple of middle school teachers on writing grants to provide innovative and flexible learning spaces. It is our desire to turn some existing space into a “makerspace”, an area where students work collaboratively in making, learning, exploring, and sharing. These spaces would be open to kids, adults and entrepreneurs and typically have a variety of equipment available to them including 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines and others. A makerspace however doesn’t need to have this equipment available to be considered a makerspace. Cardboard, Legos and art supplies are all you really need to get started. It’s more of the maker mindset of creating something out of nothing and exploring your own interests that’s at the core of a makerspace. These spaces help prepare students for the critical skills needed in the 21st century in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and math. They will provide hands-on learning experiences, as well as to help with critical thinking skills and even boost self-confidence. It is our goal to work this year in developing a plan that will allow us to implement many of these ideas as soon as funding is secured. Even if we aren’t funded through the grant process, we believe we will continue to strive towards these innovative ideas that will put our students at the forefront of education in our region.

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 2015 Infinite Dial 2015: Radio’s Money Demo is driving online radio growth. Online radio gained ground in 2015 as listeners aged 25-54 tuned to the medium in record numbers. No longer just a habit for 12-24 year-olds, half of Americans aged 25- 54 listen weekly to AM/FM radio stations online or to streamed audio content available only on the internet, according to new findings from Edison Research and Triton Digital. Weekly listening among 25-54 year-olds increased by over a third during the past year. Online radio is now a majority activity and the gap between monthly and weekly listening is closing. Over half of the U.S. population (53%) now listens to online radio monthly and 44% tune in weekly. In fact, the percent that listen weekly has doubled during the past four years. As the medium matures, the impact of a new crop of older, more casual listeners may be impacting average time spent with it. For the first time since 2008, Edison reports a slight decrease in weekly time spent listening to online radio, from 13 hours, 19 minutes in 2014 to 12 hours, 53 minutes in 2015. However the total time consumed continues to rise. Usage is continuing to shift from desktops and laptops to smartphones. Nearly three quarters of weekly online radio listeners tune in on a smartphone, up from 66% last year. As listening on desktops (61%) and tablets (32%) declined slightly, streaming audio consumption on internet-connected TVs rose sharply, from 12% to 18% during the past year.

  • Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018
    Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018 MINNESOTA EAS STATEWIDE PLAN Revision 10 Basic Plan 01/31/2019 I. REASON FOR PLAN The State of Minnesota is subject to major emergencies and disasters, natural, technological and criminal, which can pose a significant threat to the health and safety of the public. The ability to provide citizens with timely emergency information is a priority of emergency managers statewide. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) was developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide emergency information to the public via television, radio, cable systems and wire line providers. The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, (IPAWS) was created by FEMA to aid in the distribution of emergency messaging to the public via the internet and mobile devices. It is intended that the EAS combined with IPAWS be capable of alerting the general public reliably and effectively. This plan was written to explain who can originate EAS alerts and how and under what circumstances these alerts are distributed via the EAS and IPAWS. II. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF PLAN A. Purpose When emergencies and disasters occur, rapid and effective dissemination of essential information can significantly help to reduce loss of life and property. The EAS and IPAWS were designed to provide this type of information. However; these systems will only work through a coordinated effort. The purpose of this plan is to establish a standardized, integrated EAS & IPAWS communications protocol capable of facilitating the rapid dissemination of emergency information to the public. B. Objectives 1. Describe the EAS administrative structure within Minnesota. (See Section V) 2.
